Hi my name is Kevin and as a child I was fascinated with Hornby trainsets I was in the train club at my school. Years have passed since then but I have always loved model railways. So I took the plunge again and I have started to build an inglenook shunting layout around the 1960s era. Looking forward to being involved in the posts on the forum and I'm sure I will have many questions..

Ha! I'm really surprised such an apt username has not been used before by someone on this site in its infancy. Well done. Welcome. The 1960's just catches the last few steam locos but allows a really good choice of diesels. Is an interesting era when the new Blue and blue grey coaches co-exist with the maroon. Where most diesels were green but some new blue ones arrived. Quite an exciting decade to model indeed!
